Authorities confirmed that DeVoursney had no illegal substances in his system at the time of the crash. However, Wierengo ordered a $10,000 signature bond and said DeVoursney must enter into the county’s “zero tolerance” program, which means he will be tested for alcohol and drugs while his bond is in place.

A preliminary examination is slated for 9 a.m. on July 23. DeVoursney is currently free on bond.

DeVoursney was placed in handcuffs and orange jail slippers during the arraignment. His wife, Deb, was in court during the hearing along with DeVournsey’s Muskegon attorney, Eric Boeschenstein.

Muskegon County Prosecutor Tony Tague said the felony against DeVoursney fits his actions that day he crashed his sports car.

“His driving was extremely reckless, particularly in light of the high traffic area he chose to engage in his behavior. He placed many peoples lives in danger by his action,” Tague said.

For months the public has speculated as to why DeVoursney crashed his 2006 Ford GT that day with well-known Muskegon-area physician, Dr. Anthony Wilson, as his passenger.

Early Tuesday authorities confirmed that he had no illegal substances or alcohol in his system at the time of the fiery crash.

At the time of his accident, witnesses recalled seeing DeVoursney driving at a high rate of speed, although just how fast has not been determined by investigators. He lost control of the vehicle, hit a curb and slammed into a utility pole. Both the vehicle and the pole were split in half. The vehicle then burst into flames.

DeVoursney managed to free himself from the vehicle before collapsing nearby. Wilson had to be pulled out of the passenger's side by passersby. Both men were seriously injured at the time.
